Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin vs Stray

Stranger of Paradise was the first winner of our Game of the Year event, showing that a majority of players preferred Chaos the demonic king over chaos, the general sense of unease, as you roam the halls of The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe. Angry Jack's gang from Platinum Games' Final Fantasy effort may have bested our Port of the Year 2022, but now a more dangerous foe approaches — a cute kitten.

If you had a chance to look at the internet at all during the Summer of 2022, then chances are you too have been exposed to the charms (and thunderous horror) of Stray. We're big fans ourselves — just check out Sean's Stray review if you haven't yet — though can this stalwart PS Plus Extra-backing feline best Angry Jack's murderlust? You decide.

Now, vote in the poll and see you in the comments!
